They shall have all privileges of a regular membership except they shall not be eligible for any elected office, or eligible to vote. They will not be required to pay dues or assessments. They shall be required to pay registration fees and fees for social events, as do all active members at a reduced rate with access to the website but without IFAR journal access.
